Publisher's Notes
The day she turns seven, Sophia's grandfather gives her an olive tree. At first, Sophia thinks it's an odd gift, but when Grandfather dies, she and her mother travel to Greece to see the tree. There, Sophia walks the old streets; hears the language, strange and beautiful; sees the house where her family lived for generations; and finally, finds her tree and discovers that what her Grandfather has given her is far greater than anything she'd ever imagined.
